Jackson Holliday, the Orioles’ top prospect, has recently shared his ambitions and timeline for returning to the major leagues.
After a brief stint in the majors earlier this year, where he struggled to make an impact, Holliday was sent back to Triple-A Norfolk to regain his form and confidence.
His recent performances indicate a swift return might be on the horizon. On May 9, 2024, he hit his first home run since his return to Triple-A, demonstrating the skills that earned him his top prospect status.
Holliday, son of MLB star Matt Holliday, has been closely monitored by the Orioles’ management. General Manager Mike Elias emphasized the need for Holliday to get more at-bats and repetitions in Triple-A to refine his skills. The Orioles’ patient approach with their rookies, seen with players like Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson, suggests that Holliday will be gradually integrated into the lineup upon his return
Holliday’s primary goal is to contribute to the Orioles’ success, regardless of his role. His experience growing up in a baseball environment and his close observation of his father’s career have prepared him well for the pressures of the major leagues.
With continued strong performances in Triple-A, Holliday’s return to Baltimore could significantly bolster the Orioles’ playoff aspirations
